Raffi Hohannisyan, the leader of the Heritage Party, expressed hope during the party congress that the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) would support him, since he had accepted the 7 points proposed by the ARF, and there were no controversies between them. However, Armen Rustamyan, a representative of the ARF Supreme Body in Armenia, disappointed Raffi Hovhannisyan, saying that pretentious statements were not enough, and that everyone accepted their 7 points, but it didn’t mean that they had to support everyone. Armen Rustamyan also said that Raffi Hovhannisyan’s chances to win were slim.
Armen Martirosyan, a deputy leader of the Heritage Party, responded to the ARF during a conversation with www.aravot.am: “They are to decide. As for chances, I think that in any case, the one who takes the road has better chances to reach the final destination, than the one who stays.”
